About Discussion Access Links

Discussion Access Links allow you to generate a link which will allow any users to view your private discussion, regardless of whether they are signed in to Kialo or have been invited to the discussion. This can be useful for sharing discussions that you do not want to be public, with friends or communities.

Users accessing the discussion through a Discussion Access Link will effectively have theViewer role, although they will need to be signed in if they wish tosuggest claims orcomments in the discussion.

How to Enable or Disable Discussion Access Links

Discussion Access Links are disabled by default. To enable Discussion Access Links, open theDiscussion Menu and select ‘Discussion Settings’. Select the ‘Invites & Permissions’ tab. In the visibility section, navigate to ‘Discussion Access Link’ and click ‘Enable’. This will generate a link that can then be shared.

To disable Discussion Access Links, follow the same steps as above, this time clicking ‘Disable’. If Discussion Access Links are disabled, users following the link will not be able to access the discussion unless they havebeen invited. You can re-enable the link at any time to allow users following the link access again.

Note that if a discussion which has Discussion Access Links enabled iscloned, the new cloned discussion will have Discussion Access Links disabled by default.
